Extraoridnary Life & Adventures with Guide Simpson!
5/5

I chose Buyaga Safaris off of safaribookings.com because they were the only listing that included Jinja and white water rafting on the Nile as part of a tour. The experience with Kiira Rafting was exceptional and very highly recommended. However the absolute, very best part of this adventure was having Simpson Niwagaba Vannet as my guide, driver, and someone I’ll consider a lifelong friend. Simpson was always prompt, professional, and very passionate and knowledgeable about the scheduled places we visited – and all the in-betweens for this aptly named ‘Pearl of Africa.’ We easily traveled over 1,500km/1,000 miles, making this as much an ultimate road trip as it was a safari and tour. He went above and beyond making other special arrangements, calling to fix permit problems, and had us up and running in less than an hour after the Jeep Land Cruiser stalled on the equator. Of 10 African countries visited so far, Uganda is now my new, overall favorite thanks to the beautiful places and wonderful people I met everywhere – like Simpson. If you’re looking to see and experience the real, raw Africa, with miles of smiles and endless music, look no further than booking an extraordinary Ugandan adventure with Simpson as your guide!

Excellent Safari with Buyaga Safaris
5/5

I had a wonderful time on my safari with Buyaga Safaris. Working with Peter before I left on my trip he always responded immediately to my questions and gave me thoughtful answers and reccomendations. My flight was delayed a day but we kept in contact and he was there to meet me at the airport.

My guide for my 11 day trip was Osmond. He was superb. Besides being very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the country, he made sure that I was having the best vacation/safari possible. He did this by making sure the vehicle was in the best position to get the best photos, knowing where best to go to spot the animals, and being flexible if I ever wanted to change anything. A pet peeve of mine with my last safari was my guide always wanting to leave the lodge at around 8AM. Not so with Osmond. I mentioned this to him and every single day we left the lodge when it was still dark out and we would catch the sunrise and the early morning wildlife. I also felt extremely safe with Osmond the whole trip. Highly reccomend him as your guide and Buyaga Safari for your tour.

Very honest and responsible
5/5

I did a 6 days safari including chimps and gorillas. Everything that was promised, was delivered. My guide Apton is a very responsible driver and provided a good experience. Peter was fast to reply to all my messages. The hotels varied a lot in standard, but overall, they were really nice.

Amazing 12 days in Uganda with guide Simpson
5/5

To start of, Uganda is probably the most diverse countries of all we have visited. Every place is like from different planet so there is no place for boredom. Our trip was organised well, we wouldn’t change anything (maybe we would add some morę days). Most of the lodges were insane, I mean - we probably wouldn’t choose that good by ourselves. Considering the price of the package - I would consider it very good in terms of value for money. Our guide Simpson was carying, engaged and he knew other guides so knew where to go on safaris. As for the trip rate - let photos speak for themsleves.

My safari trip
4/5

Me and my friend recently completed our trip to Uganda and our safari trip with Buyaga.
Our trip was a 5 day excursion where did the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking along with a short safari drive in QE2 and a boat ride in the Kazinga channel.
For the most part our trip with Buyaga was great and we are so pleased we went with them. Peter was always very quick at replying to emails from the minute we enquired to when we went on the trip. We even changed a guest half way through but even that wasn't a problem. Our driver for the 5 days was Simpson who was brilliant with us. Not only did he ferry us around on the long days of driving with a smile at all times but me and my friend had a good time just chatting with him at dinner each night and getting to know him, and him us. We can't fault Simpson throughout and he is one of the main reasons we'd recommend Buyaga.
Our only faults we found was 2/3 of our hotels changing without being told. We were always put in nice accommodation but the first one we was looking forward to having a lake view.
The only other complaint we'd have is missing out on the tree climbing lions in Ishasha. This was due to unsafe roads we were told which we can appreciate is out of their control but would of been nice to have replaced it with another game drive in QE2 instead or something as then the 3rd day became just a travel day like the 1st and 2nd.
On the whole we were very pleased with Buyaga, Peter and of course Simpson. We were also blown away by how lovely a country Uganda was. Green everywhere and we always seemed to meet friendly people.
The chimp and gorilla trekking was of course the highlight and we can't recommend it enough. If this on your to do list and you're looking for a tour guide, we would recommend Buyaga for you to look at.
Thanks again,
Ashley and Johnny
